Riseborough keeps Oscar nod after probe into star-backed campaign

The British star was nominated for the best actress award for her performance as an alcoholic single mother in the film To Leslie, after A-listers including Charlize Theron and Gwyneth Paltrow hosted screenings of the low-budget film.

Released in just a handful of cinemas last October, the film failed to find any kind of audience, amassing just $23,304 at the US box office before moving to streaming platforms.

However, Riseborough received a nod after Kate Winslet called her work "the greatest female performance I have ever seen" and Jane Fonda said she was "bowled over" by the acting.
